Reduction of forest soil respiration in response to nitrogen deposition
The use of fossil fuels and fertilizers has increased the amount of biologically reactive
nitrogen in the atmosphere over the past century. As a consequence, forests in industrialized …

Temperature sensitivity of soil carbon decomposition and feedbacks to climate change
Significantly more carbon is stored in the world's soils—including peatlands, wetlands and
permafrost—than is present in the atmosphere. Disagreement exists, however, regarding the …

Crown plasticity enables trees to optimize canopy packing in mixed‐species forests
It has been suggested that diverse forests utilize canopy space more efficiently than species‐
poor ones, as mixing species with complementary architectural and physiological traits …

Quantifying ecological memory in plant and ecosystem processes
The role of time in ecology has a long history of investigation, but ecologists have largely
restricted their attention to the influence of concurrent abiotic conditions on rates and …

Shifting plant phenology in response to global change
Plants are finely tuned to the seasonality of their environment, and shifts in the timing of plant
activity (ie phenology) provide some of the most compelling evidence that species and …
